Yes, it will be affected.

Age is usually not a factor while granting visa. You must get admitted to a university in Canada in order to get the visa. You must work on applying to good universities and competing all other formalities, so that your visa application is not rejected.

Hi Chirag,
Both the options are different. I will suggest you to pursue a course as international students are eligible to apply for work permit after they graduate. Passing out from a Canadian University will give you a good hold of the situation and opportunities there. What you want to study is up to you, you may pursue Masters in mechanical engineering if you want to settle down in R and D sector or switch to MBA or MS in management. Please visit university websites and see which program you want to do. Check the admission requirements and apply.

Hi Miral,
You should probably check with an immigration consultant for work related issues. It is very true that your degree granting institution must be recognized for further studies and work. Secondly, you must also have work experience and exceptional talents. You can think about pursuing another degree from a Canadian Institute and then look for a job there. International students can work for 2 to 3 years after graduation, if you get a good job you can apply for a PR too.

Can you brief me about your academic qualifications?

There is no problem. It is easy to get a job in Canada and settle down.

It is hard for you as you have 11 backlogs and your IELTS score is less. So, chances of visa rejection are more.
